this is template only I'm calling it Guido.
In a hospital — as a patient. You notice things from that side that you'd never think about otherwise: how hard it is to find the right department, how often you need something small fetched, how much of a nurse's time goes to navigation and logistics rather than care.
Guido is about learning manipulation and navigation in a real, messy, human environment. The first hardware is coming together — an Intel NUC for compute, a 2D LiDAR for mapping, an Intel RealSense for perception, and Kelo wheels for active drive plus passive support. Next up: building the robot's control system.
I'll post hardware updates as it comes together. Follow along on X.
